MUSIC IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Oh, not ct all. They only want the High
School 10 teach something that will benefit
practically the whole mass OF pupils, not to
attempt the possible II not probable ruin
Of the voices of all those pupils who, a few
yesrs later, might become singers, as we'll
as waste time on those who cannot and
never will be able TO sing at all, at the ex.
penss OF other more valuable work. Tie
business Of the High School Is to train pu.

that singing Is an essential" to anybody,

airy knowledge Row Obtained In the gram
mar school could be supplemented with .
drill In higher grade of vocal music and
voice culture, the High School graduate
would be much less likely TO be led astrsy,
for the reason that he would have an add.

home circle. The power of singing over
the average human being, in arousing his
better nature and holding In check evil IL
clinations and desires, is too generally &C.
knowledged TO require proof. And those
who believe In religious worship, who want
the churches to grow In influence and use
fulness, are aware that whatever will make
singing more general among the people,
will do more tan any one thing TO induce
attendance and create interest in the SER

On Tuesday, June %. 1887, Mary. eldest
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos, Pillion,
of Wallace, aged 2S years and months
Dear absent one, how often have wandered
Why we, who are one in mind and heart
Should be so far by cruel fortune sundered
That all our ways through life must lie
apart.
Why should our love, that pure and sacred
feeling,
BE chosen for the minister Of pain?
Alas Iques'ion with vain appealing,
As 'prisoned birds may spread their wings
in vain.
But, sometimes, as muse, my sight grows
clearer,
And can see through all the lonely days;
How this tried love may draw our spirits
Than mere companionship in human
ways.
In tines of peace, when all is fnir and pleas
ant,
In hours Of anguish and distress most
keen,
feel thy sympathy rs surely present
As though | looked upon thy brow Sc
rene.
And in the seasons when my heart grows
weary
Of life's long conflict and its doubtful
gain,
hear thy words of comfort, bright and
CHEEKY,
Outpoured, my dropping spirit to sustain.
Oh, surely, not in vain 10 this devotion,
That lifts our hearts above the common
We must be purified by such emotion,
And fitted for new, immortal birth.
Fen through our parting tears q light is
shining,
That promises meeting free from pain
In that sweet day that kuoweth no declin-
ing,
When parted shall We never Be again.
A TRUE FRIEND.

date of the death Of her husband in

petition; that the rate of total deaf
ness be increased to $50 per month !;
and that the rank subsequently at
tanned by the pensioner may be con-
sidered in fixing the rate of his
pension.
Now, if any one can think of any
other element OF liberality to infuse
into the pension business, which will
not be palpably unjust to the people,
will he kindly set it forth? Remem.
ber this last year, and the last two
years, all the additions made to the
pension lists, and any measure OF
larger relief granted those on the
lists, while they are the bounty of the
people, they came through Demo-
cratic Congress and a Democratic ad-
ministration. The pension issue as
raised by the fellow from Omaha in
the Grand Army is false one, and it
is well the great majority saw it.

Abate tho Nuisance.

The proposition that the constitution
Of the United States gives us all the
right to worship as we please and
what we please, or not to worship at
all if we please, is incontrovertible.
The proposition that no constitution
gives any man any right to constitute
himself a nuisance to any other man
in his worship, or in any other way is
Just as incontrovertible. While, there
fore, the street gamin has no right to
modest that nondescript thing known
as the Salvation Army, the Army has
as little right to do its bizarre rites
in such time or place as will interfere
with other peoples business. Last
night on Spring street, in front of the
Court House, these people assembled
in force; set up their idols in the
shape of pair OF f1ambeaus breath
ing more smudge than light, and then
and there proceeded to add noise to
smoke 30 as to gather crowd. The
crowd came thick and fast until, as
the devotions Of the leader grew more
boisterous if not more reverential, the
street was jammed SO that passage
along the sidewalk was i'm
possible, and along the mid
die of the street difficult.
Stores were open to the right and left.
People were trying to get to offices to
attend to business, but no road lay
open to any one. At last a policeman
appeared and caused the crowd to
move on. The Army should have
been made to move first. They were
the cause of the gathering, and con-
sequent blockading of the street. The
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-02

purpose of the noise Of one sort or
other was to gather the crowd. The
purpose of the halt when the Army
took to its knees in the thoroughfare
was to hold the crowd at that particu-
lar spot. No power can give them any
right to do this. No law human or
divine can give them the right to in
terfere with the business of other
people. Move them on, and keep
them moving. If the Turk forgets
the peaceful gospel, and calls in the
aid of the sword of Mohamed, let him
be recalled to his senses.

VIRGINIA in the old times was
known as the Mother of Presidents
In the brand-newest times Ohio is
known as the Grandmother.o .of them-a
saying not quite clear in expression.
The Buckeye Statesmen, condon-
ing the faulty phisosiology, have
not been of very high order as
they have come to the surface OF late.
Allan G. Thurman and Salmon P.
Chase were giants; but when one
gets down to Hayes and Foraker, there
is decided decadence. By the way,
the Empire State has left pretty
wide wake behind her ship of state
as she appears, with her great sons
aboard of her. She counts to-day a
very large number of men of over
towering ability among our public
men. The President, her own Gov
ernor, Mr.. Evarts, ex-senator Conk-
ling, are we'll known names in
contemporary history. Going back
we find in the foremost anks of pub
lie men in New York list of her
executive officers including such men
as George Clinton, John Jay, De-
Witt Clinton, w. L. Marcy, Martin
Van Buren,, Horatio Seymour, and
Samuel ]. Tilden. George Clinton
was governor of his State. for twenty
one years, and Dewitt Clinton for
eleven. Such were the men who led
the Democracy in their day; and
such are the men and such the party
at whom the Forakers of our time
sneer, and think they can sneer out
of existence. Poor sneerers!
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-02

In THE press dispatches in our col
umns this morning will be found a
very sensational episode in the famous
suit of Sarah Althea Hill against Sena-
tor Sharon, whose place since his
death is taken by the executors OF his

stand high, and it is a great puzzle
as to where the truth lies, or what
the result NAV be.
